College.....I Miss You!!!

I don't know about you....but there isn't much i wouldn't give to go back to college..... MAN i loved that place!! Now i know....i was there for 6 years.....and i have a very good explination for that....ok maybe not a REALLY good one....but i have one! I just didn't want to let it go! If i would have known how much the real world sucks, i would have gone for 10 years!!

THINGS I MISS ABOUT COLLEGE/MANHATTAN:
1. Sleeping in.... i went out of my way to try and NOT have anything to do before 10 am. My stupid major thought it was funny to make most of my classes at 730am on MWF though....Stupid Human Ecology. (with attendence policies too!! MEAN!)
2. Waitressing.... yes i know i can still do this, but it's tough with a regular 8-5. I loved the flexibility of it, the money, the people, the food :)
3. Aggieville (more so starting my junior year till my 2nd senior year!) I love love love that place. It's all just so convenient!! I loved that at one point in college there wasn't many places me and the peeps could go and NOT know a big chunk of people. THen i got old and didn't know anyone....this made me sad.
4. Pizza Hut buffet.... again, i know i could still do this....i don't really like it unless it's a random friday, still in my pj's, hungover and looking like a hot mess....only in a college town is this acceptable to me!
5. Game Day. I've often wondered what it is about these days that makes it possible for me to get up at 7am and start drinking..... on any regular day i'd punch someone at this suggestion.... but on game days you could find us with our bells on sitting in the back of the jeep eating eggs with our hands at a ridiculous hour.......
6. Roomates. Yes i have a roomate, my husband. I love him dearly and we have a blast together... but i miss having my girls there.... crawling into bed with Mel to recap our crazy night...cry about the latest stupid boy drama....or just to snuggle!! I miss our little pre-parties before we'd go out.... t-shirt making..... and sunday night dinners!
7. MY GIRLS... by far the thing i miss the MOST! Us all being in the same place..... texts and phone calls are great...but nothing can beat seeing their perrty little faces :) I miss my "bad girls".

There are many many many more (so long, gumby's, tuttle creek, pillsbury, coco bolos)..... but it would take me WAY to long to try and name them all....... Basically i just miss it all.......

What do you miss about college??

Follow up for Abby! Things I love but shouldn't

No Particular order.....

1. This is horrible but I love to watch/walk with/and or hear about someone tripping over a staircase or crack or a pot hole in the road. I'm guilty of this myself but it simply makes my day that much better!

2. I love pop as well....... however my addiction is Mt. Dew which i'm trying to cut back on. So far so good but just thinking of the citrus thirst quinching deliciousness makes me want to get one right this minute so for now thats all I have on Mt. Dew.

3. I also love sports talk radio or any talk radio for that matter.....Drives most people especially Abby insane when we take road trips. I know that the people talking aren't right there with me but it doesn't matter I always catch myself talking back or yelling at them when I think they are wrong on a certain sports matter. I guess it makes me a little crazy x)

4. I love and may I re-peat LOVE chipotle....its by far the greatest creation in fast food industry! I mostly get the steak burritto with hot and corn salsa, with lettuce, cheese, sour cream and sometimes guacamole! 1200 calories in one sitting its freaking amazing! True story one time after a basketball game in high school I ate two.

5. Last and not least not really pertaining to the second half of what is suppose to be on the list are HOODIE'S!!!!! I believe you could totally where one for everyday....any occassion....and any time of the year. If they maid tuxedo hoodies???? Our work hoodies???? Oh the possibilities of this uncornered buisness market. I think at this time I have over 20 hoodies and the number continues to go up.....I just can't seem to get rid of any of them, mostly because they remind me of where I was when I got them and where I've been soo far. Don't make fun :)

5 things i love, but shouldn't (jumping on the bandwagon!)

Well.... since i'm such a follower i decided to do what jess, sarah, jamie and many others have done!! Plus i thought it was a pretty sweet post :) Narrowing this down to five may be hard.... and maybe if i ask nicely travis will do ne too!!!
(In No particular order!)

1. Sucrose, Lactose and Fructose

awwwww sugar..... i love it!!! there isn't a single second that goes by that i don't think "man, sugar would be AWESOME right now!!" I heart skittles, hot tamales, nerds, juju's, licorice, sour gummys, regular gummys, orange slices, gobstoppers, fun dip, mike and ike's.....you get the point! I blame my inability to lose any weight on this problem....but i'm not willing to give it up!

2. Diet Coke

mmmmm....nice cold refreshing diet coke.... i care not that coke can destroy a nail..... i say bring it on....that's how much i heart it!

3. Expensive Things

Why do i have to like coach purses?? Yes they are nice....are they worth $400?? Well no....not when you don't happen to have an extra $400 sitting around!! .... dolce gabbana....coach.... range rovers..... all things i love, but have no right buying!!

4. The F Word!

This word comes out of my mouth more then any other word in the english language...i heart it. Its so versitle...you can use it as a noun,verb, adjective....pretty much for anything!!

5. Perezhilton.com

I can't help myself....i just love celebrity gossip....travis makes fun of me cause at times i talk about celebrities like i know them!! Now if i just looked at people.com, or something respectable like that it wouldn't be that big of a deal.....but i happen to like the one that draws inappropriate pictures all over people. But his gossip is top notch.....top notch :)

Would you want to know??

Ok....so my new addiction is the show "Flashforward". It's like Lost in lots of ways.... it flashes between different times, everyone seems to be connected, and there's even some of the same actors!! One BIG downside....no Sawyer :( But like Jess pointed out to me, it's a clearer line!! It's easier to follow.....they even give you dates. In flashforward everyone in the world blacks out at the same time for the exact same amount of time. During this blackout everyone has visions of the future....the same time in the future. So, as you can imagine....this isn't going over so well (besides the fact that thousands died!), everyone is now obsessing over what they saw or did not see. Some see their marriage ending, the beginning of a new life, a vacation, or nothing at all...which we've learned means they've died between the present time and the flashforward.

This got me thinking...... if given the opportunity would i want to know the future? i go back and forth with this. Would i like to the winning lottery numbers for next weeks powerball, sure....would i like to know if i'm dead in 10 years.... hmmmmmm. I personally think no. I wouldn't want to waste the rest of my life thinking.....ohhhh poor me i'm not going to be here to see my kids get married, i'm going to miss this....and this..... i'd rather enjoy every second that i have....no pity parties. What's that saying??? Live every moment like it's your last?? i think that should be what we all live by........
